What is going on in the Reddit dev team?

Question

Every week the experience of the mobile website is degraded further. Threads take seconds to collapse, videos don&rsquo;t play, opening a post and going back crashes Safari. It&rsquo;s seriously hard to believe this &ldquo;$6Bn company&rdquo; can&rsquo;t afford to hire an acceptable dev team.Please someone from the inside must explain why the experience is so poor.

They're desperately trying to push the apps as those allow for much better user tracking.I actually like how limited the mobile website is, if I need to solely get some information I can generally get it from Reddit. But I absolutely am discouraged from posting. To my shame I wasted much of my twenties on a Reddit ,angry arguing with people. The moment I deleted it I found myself much happier.

The funny thing is that I was happy to finally see Reddit get a new UI back in the day and hated using the old website. Now I find the current situation abhorrent but I'm still addicted to it. I think I spend less time on the site though because I can't open the subreddits or even some posts.
